Kotlin Reviews & Product Details

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Null references have long been a notorious source of bugs and crashes in software development. Kotlin addresses this issue head-on with its robust null safety features. Unlike many other programming languages, where null references are the norm, Kotlin makes it clear when a variable can hold a null value and when it cannot. This clarity not only reduces the likelihood of null pointer exceptions but also improves code readability and maintainability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Kotlin is a very concise programming language. It avoids most of the boiler plate code. It is a null safe language. That is, there are many ways to handle null pointer exceptions. It has coroutines for performing multitasking or multithreading to perform long running operations in background and concurrently. It handles the communication between main thread and background threads for us. It has extension functions to extend the functionality of a class without subclassing it. It is interoperable with Java. It has higher order functions which aloows to pass functions as arguments or parameters in functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Kotlin is good for only Android app development and it cannot be used to develop iOS apps if we consider for Mobile app development. There are not many other drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Kotlin brings many of Java advantages (efficient server side, object oriented programming alongside functional programming, etc.) with - at least to my opinion - a clearer syntax.

There are a lot of frameworks supporting Kotlin, and others allow usage due to the fact that Kotlin can be translated to Java bytecode.

I personally really like that it's not required to declare types explicitly on variables, yet the language is still typed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Extention functions are an excellent feature while developing, but sometimes it's hard to debug them.

In addition, sometimes it's hard to find either examples or official (and clear) documentation for server side use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotlin?

As we code in JAVA, the length of the code is long, but the size of the kotlin code is small. The main reason why we use Kotlin is that it automatically handles null pointer exception.

Data binding is easier is easy in kotlin.

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Null pointers are handled well. Requires to write short codes. Works on JVM so, easy for Java developers to get started with Kotlin. One of the best thing is data types are not needed to declare upfront so easy to focus on application logic rather than handling data types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Syntax is little tough/not so convenient to understand and it takes some time to start writing code in Kotlin. Community not so big as compared to Java or Python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
